The Dakota at 1 West 72nd St. #51/50

THE DAKOTA – 11 ROOMS
This is a unique opportunity to combine two apartments to create a grand 11-room apartment on an upper floor of the legendary Dakota. Located on a high floor, the potential layout (subject to board approval) would include approximately 40-feet fronting Central Park. Resplendent with light pouring in from 17 windows spanning three exposures, this extraordinary space includes exquisite original architectural detailing and five woodburning fireplaces. Soaring ceilings are enhanced by classic moldings, and original Mahogany woodworking may be found throughout. The entertaining rooms of the layout would include a 15-foot entry gallery leading to a corner 24-foot living room with a fireplace as well as an 18-foot library also with a fireplace. Both the living room and library feature floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking Central Park. A large wet-bar/serving kitchen would also be found off the gallery. There would be a 23-foot formal dining room with a fireplace offering a gracious setting for entertaining. The windowed eat-in-kitchen includes a large banquette and has charming courtyard and fountain views. A 21-foot foyer leads to a spacious master bedroom with a fireplace. There are two additional bedrooms along the Western wing of the home and two spacious bedrooms along the Eastern wing. An 18-foot family room could easily serve as a fifth bedroom. Designed by Henry J. Hardenbergh, The Dakota was built in 1884 and its ornate finials and Gothic gables make it one of the most striking structures on the Upper West Side. The cooperative offers residents the highest levels of privacy, service and luxury in one of Manhattan’s most distinguished landmarked buildings.
